Rush

Back in 1974, Rush was still in the early, formative stages of their career, riding the wave of their self-titled debut album released that same year. This live recording of "Finding My Way," captured on October 16, 1974, at The Starwood in West Hollywood, showcases not just the band’s raw energy but also the burgeoning chemistry between Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and their fresh addition, drummer Neil Peart. It’s fascinating to see how Peart, who joined the band just before the recording of that debut, was already contributing his unique rhythmic style that would come to define Rush's sound. The energetic atmosphere of the venue enhances the excitement, highlighting that they were just on the cusp of fame, eager to impress audiences with their innovative blend of hard rock and progressive elements. It’s a snapshot of a band ready to make waves in the music industry, capturing the intense passion that would resonate with fans for decades to come.
